GTi Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hi. Anyone know where I can buy a 50 gallon long all in one tank and cabinet? I want a glass construction, preferably Starphire on 3 sides. I'm also open to used if you are looking to sell one. Thanks! Mark Link to comment
patback Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I don't think anyone makes a 50 LONG, although I may be wrong . What dimensions are you looking for? Link to comment
GTi Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 I don't think anyone makes a 50 LONG, although I may be wrong . What dimensions are you looking for? Maybe my terminology is wrong - I want a rectangular tank, not a cube. 36x18x18. Rimless. All in one. Link to comment
C.I._Reefer Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Why not just get a 40b and mod it ur self? I think they are 36x18x16 perfect dimensions IMO. pretty close Link to comment

GTi Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 why the hell it gotta be all in one????????? Coming from a guy with a Biocube! I was thinking about a sump but I want to keep it as simple as possible.

That's funny. I emailed him the other day and he replied and said they're no longer making aquariums and he'll notify me when they resume doing so. Link to comment

Chris said he is focussing on his standard configurations for now. Can't fault that. Link to comment
Outlets710 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I was very disappointed. Chris said he is focussing on his standard configurations for now. Can't fault that. My suggestion, have Reef Savy, they are Florida, have them build you whatever size tank you want, I have seen some gorgeous starphire tanks by them. They even did the dispay tanks for one of the LFS's here,After that Call chris give him the dimensions and have him send you one of his filtration boxes. You can just install it with silicone. Like I said just a suggestion , I would have used them but they don't do AIO,, I ended up paying an assload in freight and getting all from one person. Good Luck! That's funny. I emailed him the other day and he replied and said they're no longer making aquariums and he'll notify me when they resume doing so. I spoke to chris today, you might have just misread into things. He is only discontinuing doing any custom tanks for now, he's still selling what has on his website which should be back up tomorrow. Link to comment

wildmanzeke Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 glasscages.com.... They could customize it for you.... might be on the expensive side. Link to comment
gonzalez78 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 glasscages.com.... They could customize it for you.... might be on the expensive side. Don't do glasscages.com they suck, too expensive and you also have to travel out of your way to get your tank. I had to drive over 200 miles to get my tank because their truck food not drive my way.

plainrt Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 lol only have one biocube now and i think aio setups are a waste of space alot of times.go with a simple sump setup. lol also had this simple setup smart guy http://www.nano-reef.com/featured/?tank=29 Link to comment
wildmanzeke Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 It was just one idea. I have no personal experience with them i just go to look at prices and dream of big tanks. Link to comment
PicO Aquariums Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Sorry guy's I really don't want to turn away any business but it's just too much for me to take on at the moment. I do plan to continue in the future but I don't have a set date for that. In the mean time I agree Reef Savvy is a great alternative. Once I get my production units under control "I'll Be Back" Link to comment

plainrt Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 is a 50 long a 4 ft or 3 ft? i was just trying to say that setup of mine i posted worked better then any other tank i had.I have had many aio setups my current 57 rimless with a sump and the simple setup posted.Also after the date in that link i swapped to a 40 breeder and tank just got better and better.one thing hate about aio setups is wasted space.

YankeePete Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 For what it's worth here is a couple of pictures of an AIO unit I made for a fellow Nano-Reefer for their 40L. It will also fit a 40B. It mounts to the center of the back wall of the tank..... Link to comment

Maybe it was something different I googled but all a SubCurrent is a just smaller version of what goes in some AIO's, or what Yankee pete posted. You have an overflow, a return and somewhere to keep your media? Currently I have a 16 Nuvo thats getting great growth and all i do is water changes and mysis feedings. Chris made me 30x14x16 with a small filtration for the end ,making it a peninsula tank and allowing the box to hold basically same thing you have going on and some cheato. However going w a bigger tank means more coral so i figured I would have to give into the PIA chemical route, Well Plainrt, you have given me hope I might not have to do that after and still have a successful tank.I also plan on running Chem Pure, any other suggestions? this is my chemical free 16 nuvo aside from Chem Pure Link to comment
